US INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE ROBERT F. KENNEDY PICKS SHANAHAN AS HIS RUNNING MATE

By Edwin F -


Independent United States presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Junior has announced his running mate for the 2024 November presidential elections. Nicole Shanahan will be running for the vice presidency alongside Kennedy. The Thirty-eight (38yrs) years old attorney and technology entrepreneur from the Saint Francisco Bay Area is also the former wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin. She has never held any electoral office but has previously donated to Democratic presidential candidates. 

Robert Kennedy made his announcement at a rally in Oakland California. Kennedy praised Shanahan that she has the skills necessary to be a great vice president and she agrees with him that the United States government no longer served the people but it is for the world street and the extremely wealthy.

Shanahan during the rally stated that "It has become part of my determination to do something for my country" and that " The purpose of wealth is to help those in need " She said "And I want to bring that back to politics too. That is the purpose of privilege".

Kennedy had sparked controversy for his stated beliefs in several discredited conspiracy theories including that coronavirus vaccines were developed to control people via microchips. Kennedy also pushed the decade-old theory that the C.I.A  killed his uncle former president John F. Kennedy. Kennedy is not expected to win many votes but could influence the outcome of the race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump since the third candidate had influenced the past United States presidential elections.
